problems working wine

[gamblor01]

Ok well I have successfully installed the thing finally. And when I ask for the version number, it does give it to me, but I guess my config file is wrong? I let the computer generate to config for me but maybe that's bad. Anyway here's a screen shot of the error I'm getting. Can anyone diagnose from that or do I need to post my config file to?

I can barely read the error messages. Could you please post them in the thread.

[gamblor01]

Yes this is what it says when I try to run a program, for example, installing jardinains here...


[l33t-hax0r@localhost Documents]$ wine jardinains_1_01.exe
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
Could not stat /c (No such file or directory), ignoring drive C:
Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is (supposed to be) '/home/l33t-hax0r/.wine/config'


I do have a config file set up in my /.wine folder as well as in etc/wine. I guess maybe I'm just not configuring the thing properly or something.

I've never setup or used Wine, so this is just a guess.

Try using the actual device instead of the mountpoint.

/dev/fd0 and not /mnt/fd0

The same for the other devices.

Check the documentation included with the Wine package.

You could also search the LNO forums for i.e. 'wine config' as I've seen configuration file examples posted here from time to time.

Ok well I guess I set up something right this time...Now I get these errors and I'm not sure why! I'm trying to install a program and every time I do, no matter what path I specify for it to install to, it always tells me that there was an error and that the disk might be full. I'm given the option to either cancel or retry, and retry doesn't do jack. Anyone know why this is? My fake drive points to basically my user/c/ folder of which there's a c/windows and c/windows/system. I'm on Mandrake 9.0. Any help?

Here the relevant section of my wine config, maybe you'll see waht you did wrong:

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/home/incom/.wine/c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
; make sure that device is correct and has proper permissions !
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/win_c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "win_c"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive F]
"Path" = "/mnt/win_d"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "win_d"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[wine]
"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
"System" = "c:\\windows\\system"
"Temp" = "c:\\windows\\temp"
"Path" = "c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\"
"Profile" = "c:\\windows\\Profiles\\Administrator"
"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"
; Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by
default.
; Enabling this may crash some programs that do recursive lookups
of a whole
; subdir tree in case of a symlink pointing back to itself.
;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1"
"ShellLinker" = "wineshelllink"

Whoa whoa whoa wait...when you have in your config that e points to like /mnt/win_c, does that mean that you set up a partition on your hard drive or what? I just created a folder called C and then setup up windows and system and program files and whatnot in there, but it's not its own partition. Do I need to do that? And if so...HOW do I do that?

[mocnicom]

No, you don need to do that, I just like to be able to access my windows partitions as well as my fake drive in wine.
